This is the first study to show how indigenous health
providers contribute to cancer care and prevention in
Aotearoa/New Zealand. A nationwide postal survey of
Māori health provider organisations found that they
deliver a wide range of cancer care programmes. These
include cancer prevention services focussed on health
promotion, as well as advocacy, information and support.
The trust and long term relationships that Māori health
providers have within their communities enables them
to help people access mainstream cancer services such as
screening, hospital care and cancer support services. This
focus on supporting families rather than individuals is
important throughout the cancer care journey.
Shaken baby syndrome is a cause of death and serious
injury to a significant number of New Zealand babies
every year. We describe a simple educational program,
delivered routinely to parents or caregivers by health
professionals in the first weeks or months of a baby’s
life, which may reduce the incidence of this condition.
The program provides parents and caregivers with some
simple strategies for coping with a crying baby as well as
reinforcing the importance of never shaking a baby. The
program was based on international scientific evidence,
but modified significantly for the New Zealand context
and trialled in the Auckland District Health Board over 18
months in 2010 and 2011.
